Forms :: Writing Data Into Text Boxes On A Form Using Variable In Name
Jan 29, 2015
I'm trying to write code which writes text into text boxes on a form depending of certain content of other text boxes. The names of the text boxes are all very similar
F.i. R1, R2, R3 ...... R12 if the content of these boxes are empty then the content of the corresponding text boxes VR1, IR1, VR2, IR2, VR3, IR3.......VR12, IR12 should also be empty.
In fact I am trying to write something like this
DO UNTIL i=12
if me.R(i).value = "" then
me.VR(i).value = ""
me.IR(i).value = ""
endif
LOOP
But this isn't working. The solution below works but isn't a very nice one, writing 12 times the same code
if me.R1.value = "" then
me.VR1.value = ""
me.IR1.value = ""
endif
if me.R2.value = "" then
me.VR2.value = ""
me.IR2.value = ""
endif
I some code that is reading the first 32 lines of a text file and paste the results into 1 text box on individual lines. I would like each line to go into an individual text box.
I have 32 text boxes named txt_1, txt_2, txt_3 I have a variable named ThisLine holding the line of the text file. I have a variable named textBoxName holding the name of the control.
Need to putting these together to write the line to a text box .
Code: Sub ReadFile() Me.txt_newData = "" Me.txt_OrigData = "" 'again, we need this strange thing to exist so that ... Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
This is the first time that I have done any major work with forms. After I thought I had finished a problem came up. There are several forms that are use to input information into a table. When the form is opened it grabs an automated number for tracking. The problem is, that if the form is opened and then closed it creates a line of data with all null values.
What I would like to do is have the form open, the user fills out the information, and upon pressing the "save" button, the data will save to the table. I think I need to have each text box write to a variable and then save on the click event. Or I could be completely wrong and need to do something else.
i'm guessing this is something I would learn in Forms 101 if i had ever taken that type of course
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the below statement ? I'm trying to pull the contents from a text box in a form. The text box is supposed write the contents to a field (memo data type) in a table. Thanks ! ! !
my problem seems to be very familiar to the one in this thread :

Basically I have a list of tables in one combo box. I want the user to select which table. ( The tables are stock information, each table for each different day of the stockmarket)
Then they select the Stock they want to look at. ( These are the same in all the tables obviously, so it is the same in the drop down box)
NOW, the bit i'm struggling with. Is for a textbox below to show the value found IN the table name selected, with the stock selected. How would i do this in SQL, or VBA with SQL.
I have an unbound mainform and an unbound subform(datasheet). The source of the subform is a query which is dynamic(I have many queries with diffrent columns). the subform source is change using a combo box selection. I have text boxes in my mainform..how do I get the data from subform to the text boxes of the mainform?
I'm using Access 2010 and am trying to pass a variable in a form field and store it in a table i.e. I have a customer database with various fields: Customer_ID, Customer_Name, Customer_Address etc. After selecting a particular record i.e. Customer_ID = 20 l need to store the record number '20' in a temporary table. I presume that l could then use Dlookup to read the info back at a later stage.
I am trying to sum the row in a access form. There are 3 text boxed called TXT1, TXT2, TXT3. I have added an additional text box and typed the following txt;
=([TXT1]+[TXT2]+[TXT3])
Instead of totalling the row it just puts the number together. For example TXT1 contains 1. TXT2 contains 2, and TXT3 contains 3 so the answer should be 6 (1+2+3) but it shows 123. I have tried putting SUM in front but that gives me the total of the whole column not just that row.
I am trying to write to different tables depending on a user selected variable (ie: depending on the year selected, the data would goto the correct table). Am I able to setup my fields in my forms to reference a predefined variable, then from there write the data to the correct table? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have multiple sub forms and want to add specific text boxes of different sub forms into one another sub form. Then all sub forms are incorporated in one main unbound form.
I have a form where I type in the time a person starts a job. The format is Medium Time. I also have a box where I type in the End time for that job. Also formatted in Medium Time. I have another box that is for if a break happens during that job to return the value 10. My formula for that box is: =IIf([Start Time]<"9:00 AM" And [End Time]>"9:10 AM",10,0). The problem that I am having is that it only works when the time is in the 9:00 AM to 9:59 AM time frame. I need it to work where if a person starts at 6:00 AM and gets done at 2:30 PM to return the value of 10.
I have little bit problem in access here, if i want to create two textbox... first textbox for time and second textbox for unit. When I type (time) in first textbox, second textbox will appear automatically the unit number...
Example
1textbox-----------2textbox
1<time<=60 ------- 1 unit 60<time<=120 ------ 2 unit 120 < time <= 180 ------- 3 unit
I am trying to improve a work process using an existing Access DB.We have a form with multiple texts boxes on it. I need to search through these boxes to determine the total number of occurrences of a specific value. This is not tied to a table.
The text boxes I'd be searching through all have related names: "Element0" to "Element40". And I'd most likely be looking for a "/" within the value in the boxes (value could be 12345/01, for example).Would then be using the result in VBA to apply some conditions, so I would prefer if I could do the count in VBA (the count/sum is the part that is hanging me up.)
I've found multiple ways to accomplish this from a table, but nothing for what I have to work with.I am unclear in my description of what I am trying to do, let me know and I will try to provide more information.
I am trying to filter a form by using two unbound text boxes that a user can enter in their criteria and then clicking a command button to filter the form using the criteria entered into the text boxes. My fields are as follows:
I have a pair of captioned text boxes for taking the criteria for the search result. Currently the text boxes are tied with a date field. I would like to give the user's choice of a number of date fields. After some research, I believe option group control fits for this purpose. Unfortunately, I never try this function before.
i want to search a phone number in contact information table with column names - number, name, address, dob, gender, f-name, m-name etc and show them in a form with each field in separate text boxes in access 2010.
I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.
I have a form with 1 unbound listbox as drop down list (entypolst), an unbound text box(entypotxt) and a command button. The list box reads items from a table. I want to change a value (text) on listbox, input a text on textbox so pressing the button add a new record in a table (Table1 fields Category,Product) showing in my form as subform (SFTable1) in datasheet view. For that reason a made the following code:
Code: Private Sub AddBtn_Click() Dim ans As Integer Dim strSQL As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim ctl As Control
[code]....
I take the error msg for 0 items selected in listbox and exit the sub.
there is a way to convert multiple text boxes to combo boxes all at once, rather than right clicking on them one at a time, and selecting Change to.
I have a form with about 50 fields and most of them need to be converted to combo boxes. I'd always done it manually one at a time up to this point, but I'm trying to build up my learning and look for smarter ways to do things.
I have a form with a List Box (List BoxA) that returns a value from a query. I then have a Text Box (Text BoxB) that uses the value from List BoxB and multiplies it by let's say 2. It works giving me the correct value but only becomes visible after I click inside List BoxA. How can I make it visible as soon as the form is opened? I tried refreshing the form data, didn't work and I tried a requery macro which didn't work either.
I have a continuous form (2003) with 6 text boxes (StartTime, StopTime, Comments etc...). I would like all the text boxes to have a gray background if the StartTime for that row is less than Today().
I am creating a production line database for use on a touch screen (no keyboard or mouse) which has to be really easy to use. At the start of the week i got to the point were i thought i would test what i had done to date and have come across a serious issue.
I thought that the data from the forms i am using to input the data to the main table tblProductionDetails would write into individual records but although new records are created at the appropriate point e.g. when the comand button labelled START on frmDetailsCorrect is clicked the data is not writing to the new record that is created. I thought it would be an easy thing to solve but 20 hours later and much mucking about with DoCmd.Goto's etc i am no further forward. I have attached what i have done in the hope it is something obvious and somebody will be able to point me in the right direction.
The way the db is set up is that frmDayStart needs to be opened the command button clicked and then each form opens once the OK comand button in the top right of each opened form is pressed.
It is still a work in progress so a bit rough and ready but i need to get this fundimental problem sorted before moving on.
Any help appreciated (i am not looking for somebody to do the work on the DB just point me in the right direction or point out what the error might be).
I'm trying to build an database for aircraft operators. I've got the basic tables structure and relationships but I'm stuck on building an search form to filter records by user input.I've got following controls on my form (unbound):
1. AircraftType (combo box) from tblAircrafts 2. CompanyName (combo box) from tblListOfAircraftsOperators 3. TeailNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 4. AirportNameSearch (combo box) from tblAirports 5. PassengersNumber (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 6. ManufactureYear (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 7. SourceSearch (combo box) from tblInfoSource 8. CountrySearch (combo box) from tblCountry 9. CategorySearch (combo box) from tblAircraftCategory 10. EamilToOperator (text box) from tblAircraftOperators 11. InteriorPhoto (Bound object frame) from tblAircraftOperators 12. ExteriorPhot (bound object frame) from AircraftOperators
I need to enable users to search for aircrafts based on those criteria. As I mentioned I'm new to Access and I don't have any advanced coding skills. I have a query build to perform the search and this is the code I've managed to write so far:
Hi Guys, I don't know Access very well but I know enough to generate a 2 dimensional database. The problem I have is that I have been asked to look at a travel agents database to create some additional letters. The problem is that they use a form which has an underlying data table called customers. When they create a record in the form all fields in the customers table are filled in except those on the form which derive their data by calculating two or more fields i.e Date Due is [Date of Travel]-70 (days), Balance Owing is [Cost]-[Deposit]. None of these derived fields fill in their corresponding fields in the customers data sheet.
I would welcome any ideas please. Thanks in anticipation
I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.
However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.
So far I have my design:
I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?
I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.
